Sawmill waterwheel at Forest Row turning mill

This mill used to produce turned bungs for herring barrels, but now produces turned souvenirs such as tattie mashers, spirtles and eggcups. It has three waterwheels, of which this is the largest, fed from a marvellous system of lades, some of which can be seen in this picture. (The lades have been replaced in concrete since this picture was taken)
